All of these are 5e setting details. All of it is 5.0.Forgotten Realms is a setting. Greyhawk is a setting. Theros is a setting. Strixhaven is a setting. Planescape is a setting. Spelljammer is a setting. Richten is a setting. Eberron is a setting.Every one of these settings includes many mechanical options that may or may not be present in other settings. And ANY setting can have any of these options.The default setting for 5e is homebrew.Half Elf is a setting decision. The default is the Half Elf exists in 2024 because the default includes all of the earlier official adventures that mention a Half Elf. Meanwhile, special essentialist mechanics for a Half Elf, is one of the many available optional setting mechanics.Half Elf is a setting option, just like Eladrin is a setting option, and Plasmoid is a setting option.</blockquote>
